NCRA Election Center

Welcome to NCRA’s Election Center

Get information and access to some helpful tools about the Association’s election process.

NCRA elections are open and transparent, and members can be part of the process to make a difference in the future of stenographic court reporting, captioning, and legal videography. To be a part of the election process, voting members may submit additional nominations for the Board of Directors. They may even nominate themselves for a position. And, of course, they can participate in voting!

Members who have a passion for the stenographic court reporting, captioning or legal videography professions and the success of NCRA, are encouraged to participate in the nomination process.

To read more about candidate rights and benefits as well as services to candidates, please refer to the Election Procedures.
